David’s first cross was in 1958, and his love of daylilies continues unabated. He is perhaps best known for his red and double flowered cultivars, although his two Lennington All American daylilies - MING PORCELAIN and CHORUS LINE were shades of pink. His two Stout Medal award winners – BETTY WOODS, the first double ever to win is a golden yellow, as is his single flowered, BILL NORRIS. David eagerly anticipates the challenge of growing and hybridizing daylilies for northern hardiness. 
Mort Morss began hybridizing daylilies in 1971, and his cultivars are very popular and widely grown. His award winning, first introduction, was named INNER VIEW and it helped launch the popularity of patterned daylilies. Mort’s Lennington All American Award winning PAPER BUTTERFLY was the first widely acclaimed cultivar with a patterned eyezone. His unwavering pursuit of excellence in the realm of patterned flowers has resulted in a disproportionately large percentage of the most coveted patterned eyes and edges by cutting edge hybridizers world wide. The popularity of his cultivars is such that they usually sell out soon after they are offered and are beloved throughout the world. PAUL YORK
PAUL YORK* (Kirchhoff) 32" E Re Ex Ev 5". Named for the late Paul York of Lincoln, NE - - friend of daylilies, especially reds. As perfectly tailored as the gowns designed for MGM Studios by legendary costume designer Adrian Alda, PAUL YORK is without peer! The blooms are an extremely clear, medium dark, true red. There is a narrow splash of yellow, just above the all-day-green throat. A deep blue sheen adds depth to the flower's color. The form is precise, circular, and rolled back. The petals measure over 2 1/2 inches wide with tiny, ruffled edges. The texture is smooth. Color and substance are among the most sunfast of all red daylilies! Scapes have 3 way branching and 20 or more buds. Very fertile both ways, producing well-formed, sunfast seedlings.
